"Partially agreeing" while baselessly denying the central point is what exactly in your book? You fall for rhetoric tricks at your own expense here. This matter has a host of important consequences and implications. Treating it at the same level of effort as every other infotainment piece is a failure of judgement.

>"Partially agreeing" while baselessly denying the central point is what exactly in your book? It means partially agreeing, and quite respectfully, I might add. You, however, were only *dis*respectful, downright rude in fact. >Treating it at the same level of effort as every other infotainment piece is a failure of judgement. I'm not treating anything as the same as any level of effort. All I'm saying is if you act like a dick, people will be much less likely to give you any attention, even if something you say is correct.

  No, it doesn't: it means to mislead people like you into getting the appearance of agreeableness while actually still baselessly denying the salient point. Denying without giving any rational reason is again a rhetoric trick to gaslight people not trained in applying formal logic into believing something in spite of contradicting evidence. How do you act here? You attack me personally while adding nothing to the actual topic at hand. You're right about people who appear more likeable getting more attention. Does that make their standpoint actually more valid or valuable?

    >You attack me personally while adding nothing to the actual topic at hand. My goal was never to contribute to the discussion but merely to explain that your attitude will not win any converts to your arguments. People are having good discussions in good faith here and you're angry and contemptuous toward them. Anyway...it seems you have no as much interest in hearing me than you have in admitting your self-sabotaging emotional state. I am done with this topic. Good day.
